That about sums it up! An honor to take part in Thursday’s @newcolossusfestival panel on the NYC scene and discuss, among other things, my ~raison d’être~: making sure bands know that what they do matters ❤️

Huge thanks (as always) to NC for having me, @actionali for moderating and @keplermatrick + @hellolightfoot + @justozzie21 for being amazing contributors to this convo and to this community.

Woo! Man, I’m just so happy to be here!!

SAMSUMPTER.COM IS OFFICIALLY LIIIIVE 🎉🎉🎉

Since leaving my 9-5 in the fall, it’s been like Eat Pray Love but with a lot less prayer and way more building a website.

But beyond a URL, this is more ways to work together! Specifically, the launch of a new set of offeringsthoughtfully designed for independent artists: consulting, storytelling and subscription management (SAMgmt. ;)) services—all made for the moment and custom-fitted to meet your needs.

The truth is, there’s nothing I love more than working with bands! I feel extraordinarily lucky to have found my purpose, and now I’m stoked to take this step and go into music full-time so I can channel all my time, energy, enthusiasm (!!!) and everything I’ve learned over the last 9 years in the industry (a LOT) to amplify the work of the artists I believe in.

If your passion is your music, my passion is supporting it.

Find me online, baby! Let’s turn it up 🤠

Honored to be included alongside these up-and-coming authors! (But seriously — so surreal.)

The BdBK book is avail on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BookShop, or order through your local bookstore —perhaps @wordbookstores ?! — through IndieBound now!

+ Plz come party with me (AGAIN) with @gethighwaistedd + @nevvatheband + @kissedbyananimal TONIGHT at the BDBK BOOK BASH 2 at #EWEL —

Doors @ 8 // $5 // Link in bio for those sweet sweet deetz ❤️

New episode of FUV Live Sessions is out now and it’s with Latin Grammy winner @silvanaestradab who last year dropped her truly lovely sophomore album ‘Vendrán Suaves Lluvias’ — which is named for, and translates to, “There Will Come Soft Rains,” a World War I poem from Sara Teasdale that speaks to the enduring beauty of nature during, and beyond, wartime.

A beautiful voice, a beautiful person and a very open-hearted conversation. I love her! Find the episode featuring our interview + 3 songs performed at @wfuv studios over at wfuv.org or wherever you get your podcasts 🕊️

Two doses of @telehealth_org in 12 hours because I am ♻️💸🤑InVeStED 🤑💸♻️ in this beautiful and brilliant band (/business) and buying E V E R Y T H I N G that they’re selling —

‘Green World Image’ — a cultural capsule (and critique) from the Seattle corp.-core group, with references ranging from glossier to medicaid, obama to nirvana, sprinter vans to burning man — drops via @subpop May 15th and baby oh baby the songs rule so hard.

Session en route to your eyes n ears soon via @wfuv 💚

Walked 32 miles, will be sore forrrrr 32 years—

Highly recommend The Great Saunter for falling in love with the nooks, crannies, forests, fields, skylines, shorelines, parks and public bathrooms of NYC. And that’s just the perimeter!

Waved to Mamdani, found nature in Inwood and became privy to the unfortunate fact that the East River has eels (you’re welcome).

All in all, magical — if not *slightly* masochistic — way to spend like 13 hours on a sunny Saturday. Now catch me hobbling (or just horizontal) for the foreseeable future.

This was a very big deal for me! (And I was *not* very cool about it.) Live session with @youngthegiant — whose excellent album ‘Victory Garden’ is out this Friday! — coming soon on @wfuv ❤️

Sweet scenes from last night’s SOLD-OUT @parksdeptband single release (captured from the corner whilst standing on the Econo Lodge couch).

“Towel” is out now and I CANNOT WAIT for you to hear the rest of the album. I am so in love with this band + these songs and so so stoked for what’s next ❤️
